Joe and Jo!

this song sums it up nicely!!

Puerto Rico 2006

This was quite the memorable time, right before Brytinn was added to the family. Jos was about six months pregnant, though its hard to tell in these pictures. These were taken at Isla Verde, Luquillo (our favorite local and relativey unknown beach with the softest sand in the world), and at an old Spanish fort. Kamara was almost one. She was fearless and learned how to swim on her own, without floaties. She also loved to eat the sand. She was the cutest baby on the whole island and people always stopped to talk to her on the beach. Dad worked for APX that summer and we had a great time.

Me and my Kamara

Kamara is the sweetest little girl. Usually people notice her for her striking beauty, but her inner beauty surpasses that; she is bright, alive, caring, and precious on the inside as well. She always gets excited when I come home from work or school and is the first to run and jump on me, showering me with hugs and kisses. She always asks me to cuddle with her too. We are a tight daddy/daughter combo. Don't mess!

Joe's Harley

This is Joe's Harley Davidson. It is a Fat Bob. I will soon ride a pink sportster 883. We will have weekly rides in the canyon to a romantic dinner at Sundance; the Foundry Grill or the Tree Room. Riders for life..........one day.

me and my girls

I am so in love with my girls. They are soooo beautiful and tons of fun. The day after the fourth was relaxing and memorable. We played in the back yard in our fun little pool nestled in our own Garden of Eden. Yes, we know where it is. It was a fun family day with popsicles, dancing, singing, and water fights. It's the little things that make all the hard work sooo extremely worth it!

family fourth of july

On the fourth of july, joe and i got up early with amarie and went to the 5k race. I placed 27th out of 115 in my category...pretty good...i fail to mention my time:) then we raced home after the race to get the girls for the parade. At the parade Kamara was patting her cheeks and saying, "what is that guy with this...pat pat pat..." I had no idea what she was talking about...then she said, "mom, i think that was Nephi" so i looked up at the float that just passed by and sure enough it was Lehi and his family heading to the promise land. She was referring to Lehi's beard by patting her cheeks. I can't believe how smart she is some times. Then later that day we were so excited that daddy got off work early, i've never seen the girls so hyper. We went to Brekk and TJ's for a barbecue and a fun swim in their little pool...then off to the fire works. Things really couldn't have gone smoother for our Fourth celebration this year. God bless the USA!
